Upper School Admissions
Ready to take the next step? Let us assist you throughout the application process.
A long-standing town-tuitioning program providing area students with educational choice continues to allow the Academy to enroll the majority of students from the towns of Saco, Dayton, and Arundel while maintaining its own independence. If you are a resident of these towns, contact our registrars.
For residents of other towns, Thornton Academy offers rolling admissions, meaning that if we have space, we are happy to consider your application as soon as your application file is complete.
Upon receipt of a completed application, our Admissions Committee makes an admission decision within two weeks. The application process is simple, and our team is here with you every step of the way. In the 21-22 school year, Thornton Academy welcomed day students from 26 different towns, and boarding students from 28 countries, including the US.
Step-by-step admissions process
Thornton Academy has been very good for both of our kids. The teachers never fail to impress me with their dedication to their students, preparedness for the class, compassion for all learners and just their wonderful spirits.
